Chapter 2857: The Embarrassed Zong Shen

Inside Hongji City, all the Hedaos looked horrified, especially the Hongji City Lord, who could hardly believe his eyes.

He had served Zong Shenliang for many years and knew very well how powerful the other party was. He was one of the ten strongest men standing at the top of the inner world. Even for the other ten city lords, it would be extremely difficult to defeat or injure him.

But what does he see now?

Zong Shenliang had one arm broken off, and there was a huge wound on his waist that seemed to reveal the bone. He looked weak and his face was as pale as paper.

Such a heavy blow is simply horrifying.

He even had a feeling that if Zong Shenliang had not happened to come across his Hedao City here and hid in for refuge, he would probably have been hunted down and killed soon!

The Hong-level city lord turned his head stiffly and looked at Lu Ye. He did not see many signs of injuries on Lu Ye, which made it difficult for him to accept.

The battle between our city lord and the enemy ended in complete defeat?

This human Lu Ye...how could he be so cruel?

Zong Shenliang was still chattering on and on. He was undoubtedly extremely angry after suffering such a huge loss. He cursed and swore at everything he could to vent his resentment. It seemed that only in this way could he save some face in front of his subordinates.

Lu Ye said nothing, but silently drew out the Panshan Sword. The power of Taoism flowed, and the blue-black color slowly flowed on the blade, as if a living thing was twisting.

Zong Shenliang's face darkened upon seeing this, and he sneered sarcastically: "Why, you still want to break into the city and kill me? Do you have the ability to do that?"

If this was a desolate-level city, Zong Shenliang would still be a little worried, but this is a flood-level city, and the defensive formation is so solid that even if he takes action personally, it will be difficult to take it down in a short period of time.

After the previous confrontation with Lu Ye, he could roughly estimate Lu Ye's strength, which was comparable to his own. If he couldn't break through Hedao City, Lu Ye naturally couldn't break through it either.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Panshan Knife had already swung down.

The Hong-level city lord who was standing next to Zongshenliang inexplicably felt a sense of horror, and hurriedly activated the jade beads of the large formation, pushing the power of the protective formation to the limit.

The sharp blade slashed under the light curtain that was almost solid, and it was severely dented.

The violent force even caused the entire Hedao City to shake.

A pair of eyes trembled slightly, secretly shocked by the terrifying physical strength of Lu Ye. The next moment, everyone's face changed drastically.

This was because they clearly saw that at the location where the Panshan Sword was slashing, a thick blue-black aura was flowing, and the light curtain of the large formation was being rapidly eroded and weakened.

"This..." The sarcasm on Zong Shenliang's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

He couldn't understand what was so special about Lu Ye's sword and why it seemed to have such a strong restraining effect on the light curtain of the formation.

The Hong-level city lord felt it most clearly, because the jade beads of the great formation were in his hands. It could be said that he had a keen insight into the changes in the great formation in the city.

He immediately screamed, "Oh no! The power of his sword can corrode the formation. Come with me and attack!"

As he said this, the Taoist power in his body became fierce, and he attacked Lu Ye from a distance. All the people around him who were in Hedao also attacked together.

In an instant, numerous attacks came like a tide, covering Lu Ye.

Under normal circumstances, facing such an attack, Lu Ye could dodge it, but at this critical moment of breaking the formation, he could only endure it.

His body was shaking, but the hand holding the knife was as steady as a mountain. The blue-black color on the blade flowed more and more fiercely, and the light curtain of the formation had become dim at the place where the knife was slashed.

"Please join us in taking action!" the Hong-level city lord shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.

This human Lu Ye was simply too strong, and even though all of them joined forces, they were unable to do anything to him.

Without his command, Zong Shenliang, who was frightened, had already taken action. He raised his hand and a beam of black light rolled towards Lu Ye. The other Hedao also took action at this moment.

Lu Ye's body shook more and more violently, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat.

Fortunately, he had nurtured the Panshan Sword in the fragment of the starry sky, and had also practiced the ninth level of the Small World Secret Technique. His strength had improved compared to before, otherwise he would have found it difficult to withstand this blow.

But it would not work if he could continue like this. If only those Hedao joined forces, he could hold on for a while, but it would be different with Zong Shenliang's help. Even if he was seriously injured or his strength was damaged, Zong Shenliang's strength was not comparable to those Hedao.

"How could this be?" Zong Shenliang maintained his offensive, but his heart was full of doubts.

Because if Yi Shen were in that situation, even at his peak, he would not be able to withstand such an attack, but Lu Ye did it.

He vaguely felt that Lu Ye's strength seemed to have become much stronger.

But how is this possible?

He was trapped in the starry sky fragments and couldn't get out. Lu Ye should be the same. It is true that time and space are still in the fragments, but with their strength, it is extremely difficult to make further progress. How could Lu Ye have such obvious progress?

Before I could finish the thought in my mind, a flash of mirror light suddenly passed by.

Zong Shenliang's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that Lu Ye had the Sky Mirror. He was so angry that he almost lost his mind.

Under the refraction of the Sky Mirror, many attacks from inside the city turned back and hit the light curtain of the large formation, causing ripples to form on the light curtain.

However, because Lu Ye wanted to break the formation by force, he only used a part of his strength to activate the Sky Mirror, and the power of this treasure was not fully displayed.

Even so, it is enough. He does not need to reflect all the enemy's offensive, as long as he can maintain the current situation.

Where the Panshan Sword struck, the luster of the light curtain of the formation became dimmer and the blade seemed to have sunk into it.

Zong Shenliang finally panicked. He turned into a flash of black light and fled backwards. He said, "We must stop him no matter what!"

The Hong-level city lord and a group of Hedao were stunned.

Even if they joined forces with Zong Shenliang, they had no good way to deal with Lu Ye. Now that Zong Shenliang has withdrawn, they are the only ones left. What can they do?

lol...

Under the horrified gazes, a hole was cut in the light curtain of the formation, and the pitch-black long sword pierced into the formation.

Lu Ye moved with the knife, took a step forward, and stood in the city.

He raised his head and looked in the direction where Zong Shenliang fled, and saw a large hall over there at a glance.

That should be the central hall of this Hedao City.

His heart trembled. Zong Shenliang wanted to escape. He wanted to use the Hedao Pearl here to escape into the Hehe Realm!

Without any hesitation, Lu Ye raised his sword and slashed forward. Under the influence of his fierce Taoist power, a huge blade light slashed down from top to bottom on the sword, like a punishment from heaven.

The Hedao City shook violently. Where the sword light fell, many buildings in the city turned into dust. Countless people of Rongdao were swept up in the residual power of the sword light and their vitality dissipated.

Even the Hedao who was standing in the front was split in two by the sword light, with blood and internal organs spilling out.

At the end of the blade, a magnificent building collapsed, accompanied by a crisp sound, and countless fragments of the Hedao beads flew out.

Lu Ye frowned.

He sensed that the aura of the sect's divine power had disappeared from the city. After all, he was one step too late.

In front of him, a group of Hedao looked at him with horror, especially the Hongji City Lord, whose expression was particularly bitter.

He never expected that an accidental encounter would lead to the destruction of his Hedaozhu, and he didn't even have time to stop it.

Without the Hedao Pearl, he would also lose his status as a Hong-level city lord. Even if he could make a comeback in the future, that would be a matter for the future.

He doesn't even know if he has a future...

It was because Lu Ye's cold eyes were looking at him, and he swept the long knife in his hand, and the cold words came into his ears: "Die!"

A great sense of crisis loomed in his heart. The Hong-level city lord frantically urged his Taoist power to protect his body, and at the same time he quickly retreated. However, as the knife light flashed, he felt his body lighten and his vision turned upside down.

Almost at the same time when Lu Ye killed the Hong-level city lord, the remaining He Dao had already fled in all directions.

Lian Zongshenliang had already fled, so how could they dare to stay any longer? The instinct for survival made them make the right choice at this moment.

Lu Ye stood where he was and did not chase after him. Instead, he connected his mind with the Hedao Pearl in his own small world and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In Hehe Realm, the huge palace is still bustling with people.

A dishevelled figure suddenly appeared, his face full of lingering fear. It was the Zong Shenliang who escaped with the help of the Hedao Pearl.

If he had been a step slower, the Hedao Pearl would have been shattered, because before he entered the Hehe Realm, he clearly saw a huge blade light slashing into the central hall.

That Lu Ye...has indeed become even stronger.

That kind of power is likely to surpass that of the top ten city lords, recreating the feeling of being at the peak of his power.

This made him feel extremely anxious.

I was lucky enough to get away with it this time, but what about next?

We must quickly join forces with the other ten city lords to get rid of Lu Ye as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.

I secretly hate the human race in my heart. It’s the human race again!

First, there was a Tyrant Qiu who dominated the world for countless years, making the ten city lords unable to raise their heads. Just when Tyrant Qiu was no longer powerful, suddenly another Lu Ye appeared.

What is so mysterious about the human race's bloodline? Why can it repeatedly give birth to such top-notch experts?

You should know that among the powerful people in Xingyuan, the number of humans has always been very scarce, and the top one has always been occupied by humans.

"Eh..." A cry of surprise suddenly came from the side, "Zongshenliang!"

Zong Shenliang is a ghost cultivator. Normally, he is always shrouded in a black shadow, making it difficult for people to see his true appearance. However, he has been famous for so many years, and there are always cultivators who have seen and known him.

When he just entered the hall, no one really cared about him. There were many people who entered the Hehe Realm with injuries in order to avoid being killed and save their lives.

So his injury is nothing special.

Until someone recognized him and called out his name.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall seemed to fall eerily silent.

Immediately, countless pairs of eyes looked in his direction.

Zong Shenliang, the lord of Senluo City, one of the top ten strongest men in the world, is a person you can't see casually, and naturally aroused the curiosity of the cultivators around him.

And at first glance, everyone was shocked.

Zong Shenliang's injuries were too serious. It would not be strange for such injuries to occur in any cultivator, but it was wrong for it to occur in Zong Shenliang.

He is already one of the ten strongest men in the Inner Realm. Who on earth could have hurt him so badly? And judging from his appearance, he obviously fled to the Hehe Realm to seek refuge. (End of this chapter)
